Whole heartedly disagree. It will be very good for some people and for others it will not be good.
We have been homeschooling for the last 8 years. Our kids are more mature and far exceed anything public school would have done for them. However, we see home schooling as a vocation and something we have to put effort into—not just something we sign up for on a website and then let our kid do all the work online.
Given the right reasons, homeschool will always be superior because the student/teacher ratio is so low. Plus you know your kids better and can adapt to their needs.
Given the wrong reasons, sure, it will fail people. But arguably those folks are already failing—and being propped up by a system which tries to support them but ultimately cannot.
